Smith'', 685 S.W.2d 18, [https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=921242224883553191#p20 20] (Tex. 1985) (citations omitted) ("This natural parental right has been characterized as 'essential,' 'a basic civil right of man,' and 'far more precious than property rights.'

Consequently, termination proceedings should be strictly scrutinized, and involuntary termination statutes are strictly construed in favor of the parent.") | * ''Holick v.
